Today Prince Louis celebrated a milestone as he attended his first ever royal engagement. The 5-year-old got stuck in alongside dad Prince William as he manned a digger as part of a day of volunteering to celebrate his grandfather King Charles' Coronation.
As well as being an extra Bank Holiday, Monday May 8 also marks the Big Help Out - a day where people across the country are being encouraged to volunteer and help local communities and good causes. King Charles and Queen Camilla are not participating themselves, but Prince William, wife Kate Middleton and their three children have all been getting their hands dirty at 3rd Upton Scouts Hut in Slough to assist in renovating and improving the building.
The Royal engagement is a first for Prince Louis - who was forced to miss the huge celebrative concert last night due to his young age. The family helped with tasks including resetting a path, digging a new soakaway, sanding and revarnishing the front door, adding planters to the front of the building and adding a mural to create a lasting legacy of the Big Help Out’s work. Kate has been joint president of the Scouts since 2020.
